Kliff Kingsbury will retain Jeff Rodgers as special teams coordinator

The Arizona Cardinals let go of much of their coaching staff following the firing of last season’s head coach, Steve Wilks. That included offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich and defensive coordinator Al Holcomb. It did not include special teams coordinator Jeff Rodgers.

Now, Rodgers will, in fact, stay on as the team’s special teams coordinator under new coach Kliff Kingsbury.

There was interest in him from other teams but according to ESPN’s Jeff Darlington, Kingsbury wanted to retain him.

First member of Arizona coach Kliff Kingsbury’s coaching staff wasn’t hard to find: He was able to convince Jeff Rodgers, who came to the team under Steve Wilks, to stay as special teams coordinator, per source. Rodgers was fielding interest from other teams, but Kliff wants him.
